Live database requests

I have a website that I would like to display how many people are online and who they are. That's easy to do. It displays in a <textarea> field. However, I'd like it to update itself anytime someone else logs on, without refreshing the entire page.
Is that possible using php, or does that need to be done client-side? Regardless of which one it is, please point me towards functions that I should be using.
Incidently, this is very similar to a chat room just... without the ability to chat.
